The perfect interplay of product, packaging and packaging machine makes modern cheese packaging possible, which protects freshness and flavour and is easy to handle. Vacuum bags from Allfo ensure ideal product presentation and support the ripening and freshness of the cheese in equal measure.
Flavour, freshness and perfect maturation
The packaging is like a new rind for the cheese. The cheese must retain its freshness and flavour over long transport distances and storage periods and also arrive at the supermarket visually intact. This means that cheese packaging Protection, safety and conservation functions always comes first.
But the packaging also has a Marketing function, which is becoming increasingly important in view of the immense variety of cheeses on the self-service shelves. The visual favourite role can be expressed by an appropriate imprint or a particularly shiny version of the bag.
A very sensitive food
Cheese is a sensitive foodstuff that needs to be kept fresh and appetising in order to be presented attractively. Pieces of cheese are usually vacuum-packed. This applies equally to the Euro block and the Parmesan triangle suitable for use in the kitchen.
The vacuum bags from Allfo not only fulfil the visual requirements, but are also perfectly tailored to the needs of cheese packaging thanks to their barrier properties.
„They provide a ideal gas exchange during post-ripening or preserve the character of the cheese.“
Hans Bresele, Managing Director of Allfo
The sealing properties are also impressive, preventing air pockets thanks to tight seams and thus perfectly protecting the product from external influences.
Convenience for the consumer
Close co-operation between the packager and Allfo is not only required in the functional and safety areas, but also in terms of convenience for the consumer and in designing an attractive appearance for the cheese packaging.
Comfort includes, for example, the Optimisation of user-friendliness which, incidentally, should still be functional packaging even after parts of the contents have been removed. This is why stand-up pouches are ideal for grated cheese, grated cheese or other free-flowing cheese formats, which retain their practical functionality after opening and can be resealed.
Blue coloured vacuum bags facilitate quality control for Euroblock cheese during the industrial processing of cheese. Packaging residues are immediately identified and do not end up in the further production process.
